But later Japan<br>\nwanted to take the case to the World Trade Organization, although<br>\nit has now postponed its move.<\/p>\n<p>Why did this happen? We know from experience that Japan might<br>\nhave reacted (in Japanese): hai, wakarimashita, ga...(\"Yes, Your<br>\nExcellency, we fully understand your point, but...\"<\/p>\n<p>This kind of comment or response is typical to the Japanese.<br>\nIn other words, behind the \"Yes, we understand,\" there is still a<br>\nbut... And they don't usually say what follows after but. It is<br>\nthe job of Indonesia to interpret or sense what the Japanese had<br>\nin mind.<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely like the Javanese expression: Ngono yo ngono,<br>\nning ojo ngono which can be roughly translated as \"It is rightly<br>\nso, but don't do so\". How can we grasp the exact meaning of this<br>\ntype of expression?<\/p>\n<p>M AMIR SUPADI<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
